Help please
I have been blocked from editing apparently because I am an AOL user. I even tried to use a secure bypass that someone suggested. Can anyone release these blocks? Here is a copy of one of the block messages. Thank you. GwenW 05:13, 1 August 2006 (UTC) -- notice, not Eleanor of Aquitaine.

Your user name or IP address has been blocked from editing. You were blocked by User:Pschemp for the following reason (see our blocking policy): Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Prnstr6996". The reason given for Prnstr6996's block is: "Your username (Eleanor_of_Aquitaine) has been blocked indefinitely because it is either inappropriate or too similar to an existing username (see our blocking policy for more information). Your IP address is 207.200.116.134.
 * This is not because you are an AOL user, but because you were caught in the autoblock. At the moment you are sharing the same IP as a vandal. When vandals are blocked, it blocks the underlying IP. Your misfortune in being assigned the same IP is the problem. I have unblocked the underlying IP, you should be able to edit normally. pschemp | talk 05:20, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

Helping out with the Unassessed Wikipedia Biographies
Seeing that you are an active member of the WikiBiography Project, I was wondering if you would help lend a hand in helping us clear out the amount of unassessed articles tagged with. Many of them are of stub and start class, but a few are of B or A caliber. Getting a simple assessment rating can help us start moving many of these biographies to a higher quality article. Thank you! --Ozgod 20:47, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Muhammad Ahmad
I don't know if you've looked into this further already, but the claims and achievements of Muhammad Ahmad have a section devoted to him here. That article was created to distinguish the subject of Mahdi from the people claiming to be the Mahdi. This is similar to there being a page for Messiah which is about the figure, and a separate article for the List of messiah claimants. I wasn't trying to thwart your concerns for including him, but he is already included in the list of other Mahdi claimants in their respective article. I believe the section you're concerned about could be cleaned up, and or deleted, but it does provide a snippet about where the first claimant appears in history, as well as a link to the claimants page.
